Happenings, the new album by Crosby and Nash feels familiar, but not repetitive. It feels like a telephone call from an old friend rather than a pre-recorded telephone marketing call during dinner.
Like so much of the Baby Boomer generation, Crosby and Nash have made their peace with the problem …

What You Do by Chrisette Michele Feat. Ne-Yo is a very lovely song and Chrisette Michele, with her powerful vocals, totally sweep me away with this song. What You Do is the title given and Ne-Yo adds a touch of class as well. It is just awesome …

Carol is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their self-titled debut record. As soon as I heard the opening guitar part I thought Chuck Berry and this would make sense as this song is a cover of him. Therefore, since it’s a cover I can’t comment …

“Put You Down” happens to be track 9 on Alice in Chains album “Facelift”. Although by no means is it considered to be a single, I find it to be one of the better tracks on an already excellent album. Give the song a 30 second listen and tell …

See The Light is the final track on Green Day’s most recent studio release, 21st Century Breakdown. See The Light starts off with the same acoustic guitar pattern which 21st Century Breakdown, the track, started off with but the tempo is a bit faster I believe. Interesting how Song …

The song Baby was what catapulted teen singer Justin Bieber to stardom. This song has such a catchy tune, anyone, both young and old people can sing it. Never a day passes that I do not hum the song to myself, which is testament to how hypnotic …

Muse is one of my favorite bands. Their lyrics are awesome, the guitar playing is just divine, and the drums are amazing. But this time around, I lost a ton of respect for them when they allowed Supermassive Black Hole on the Twilight soundtrack. I mean, sure, they opened …

For those of you whom are unfamiliar with Jerry Cantrell, he is not only the lead guitarist for Alice in Chains, but plays a humongous role in voicing most of the songs also. Although Layne Staley (bless his heart) was the main vocalist for the group, Cantrell played a …

Rodney Adkins is a country singer and I enjoy most of his songs. The most current song on the radio is entitled “Cleaning This Gun”
It is one of the most entertaining and amusing songs that I have heard in a long time.
The song is about a young …

Sex Packets is a classic rap album. It is probably the album that made Digital Underground famous. With songs like the Humpty Dance, and Freaks of the Industry. These songs were both cool and funny at the same time. Sex Packets brings a new style and image to rap music. …

I have to say I’m digging Akon’s song Freedom on his new album also titled Freedom. I think the song probably clicks with me because Akon is an immigrant’s son and my parents were immigrants too.
In a time like this when a lot of people don’t like immigrants, a …

I’ve loved Barbra Streisand my entire life and never have I seen her happier than when she married James Brolin a decade or so ago. In ways, she’s been almost giddy, and as a fan, that’s fun to see. As Barbra says in the liner jacket for …

All The Time is a song by Green Day which appears on their album Nimrod. The track starts off with a staccato sounding guitar riff before the bass and the drums quickly come in. The track has that very characteristic pop-punk three-chord sound which has come to be associated …

i have nothing but the utmost respect for everything that Ozzy Osbourne has done for the world of rock & heavy metal over the years. But being the godfather of metal doesn’t actually mean that you aren’t judged on each individual thing you do.
For example, i think his …

Siva is a song by The Smashing Pumpkins and is the second song on their debut release, Gish. Opening up with a rhythm guitar riff in the left channel, the riff soon goes on in both channels and the remaining instrumentation of the band enters as well. Right away, …

It is a very good idea of the organizers or whoever they call to compile the 2nd version soundtrack title, High School Musical 2. I find arrangement truly amazing and this soundtrack is something that I always put on and listen to while cooking, doing some exercises or …

Firstly, i must admit that i never quite understood the massive amounts of praise that gets heaped on this band by anybody that listens to progressive music in general.
I’ve tried listening to this album dozens of times at different intervals over the last few years to see if …

The Above and Beyond owned Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep Record Labels have consistently been my favourite publishers of sophisticated trance and progressive house for over ten years now.
How reassuring it is then, when their own output matches the quality of the artists they champion on their compilations.
We Are All …

This song is from Madonna’s new album. It’s one of my favorite songs right now. Other than the song four minutes it’s my favorite on the album. It’s a good song to dance to and to sing to. I really like it because you can dance and sing to …

Diamond Joe is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on his record Good As I Been To You. Right from the opening section of this track, Dylan’s vocal tone really doesn’t appeal to me very much but then again he went through a long period where his vocal …

Octavarium is a rock music CD by Dream Theater. Although it is not my favorite of their CD’s it is still very good.

I bought Aenima after i had loved Tool’s next album (Lateralus). I found that Aenima is just as good. When Aenima was released Tool was just a promising name in the hard rock genre, this album enstablished the band not only as a great name worldwide, blessed by sales …

In regards to music, Michael Jackson was an absolute genius; everything he touched turned to gold and he produced the most memorable and meaningful songs of all time. For me, my favorite is “Human Nature.” Not only does it has some of the most poetic words ever written in a …

Can’t Stop The Spring is a song by The Flaming Lips and the ninth song on their second release, Oh My Gawd. Returning to the distorted guitar sound present throughout the majority of this record, Can’t Stop The Spring honestly reminds me of a Flaming Lips song which appeared …

As one of the earliest songs from Circa Survive, “Handshakes at Sunrise” remains one of my favorites, if only for its sentimental value. Displaying a sound that would become standard for the band, you get a feel for where they started, and how the sound of their early music …

This is the first outing for this US band and what an outing it is. With a sublime mix of rock and punky sounds make this band deeply reminiscent of the Ramones. Although since, many UK bands like the Libertines, Kaiser Chiefs and in the US bands …

Ariana Grande has been dubbed as this generation’s Mariah Carey but in my opinion she doesn’t even come close. In terms of vocals, Ariana is slightly ahead most of her peers, and I agree that she really has big vocal ability but comparing her to Mariah she looks like …

I love The Girl in The Other Room by Diana Krall very much. And this album has a very nice and gorgeous cover. Basically, Diana Krall is sort of playing and concentrating on her piano and her eyes are closed to portray a concentrated image; very classic and …

One rock band who I’ve loved throughout the years is the American hard rock and alternative band “Three Days Grace”. I think that is quite significant too being that I have been listening to their music from I was about fourteen or maybe younger, and I am now twenty …

This little beauty can be your resident musician’s best friend. My husband purchased this for himself recently when he bought a new guitar. At the cost of $185.00 USD, it was still more inexpensive than other ones of the same type.
This pedal does it all! You will have to …

There are few progressive bands that have had as much influence on modern indie/progressive music as At The Drive-in. With a large library of amazing songs, it is hard for any of them to stand out above the others, not because some of them are so bad, but because …

Bon Jovi is one of those huge artists in music that will always be in the major leagues of Rock N Roll forever and they will probably play big gigs til there done. One of the songs I really like by them and it is huge hit is the …

The second edition of the debut album from Tokio Hotel. I bought this album around October of last year after hearing them on a television channel called IMF which has recently gone out of business. I fell in love with the lead singers voice despite the fact …

I bought this yesterday, as it was a new released album, and I love Shakira, the artiste, who is like Latin’s version of Beyonce. I bought it for about $14+, and on the cover of this album is a picture of a beautiful Shakira, carrying an infant on …
